If x = one number, then the other is 2x + 9.
x(2x + 9) = 893
Solve for x.
one postive number is 9 more than twice a number if product is 893 find the numbers
2 answers
first number ---- x
second number -- 2x+9
x(2x+9) = 893
2x^2 + 9x - 893 = 0
x = (-9 ± √7225)/4
x = 19 or x = a negative
so the numbers are 19 and 47
check: 19x47 = 893
second number -- 2x+9
x(2x+9) = 893
2x^2 + 9x - 893 = 0
x = (-9 ± √7225)/4
x = 19 or x = a negative
so the numbers are 19 and 47
check: 19x47 = 893
